Fully Automatic Method for Reliable Spinal Cord Compartment Segmentation in Multiple Sclerosis Open
We demonstrate a novel, reliable quantification method for spinal cord tissue segmentation in healthy controls and patients with MS and other neurologic disorders affecting the spinal cord. Patients with MS have reduced areas in specific s…

Sex differences of vascular brain lesions in patients with atrial fibrillation Open
Objective To examine sex differences in prevalence, volume and distribution of vascular brain lesions on MRI among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods In this cross-sectional analysis, we included 1743 patients with AF (27% wom…

White matter lesion location correlates with disability in relapsing multiple sclerosis Open
Background Lesion location is a prognostic factor of disease progression and disability accrual. Objective To investigate lesion formation in 11 brain regions, assess correlation between lesion location and physical and cognitive disabilit…

Damage of the lateral geniculate nucleus in MS Open
LGN volume loss in MS indicates structural damage with potential functional relevance. Our results suggest both anterograde degeneration from the retina and retrograde degeneration from the OR lesions as underlying causes. LGN volume is a …

Improving the clinico-radiological association in neurological diseases Open
Despite the key role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS) and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), the association between clinical and radiological disease manifestations is often …
